I love the look of the early Lincolns!
Feel free to assign a grade if you'd like.

It doesn't get much earlier than that!
Grade?
My guess would also be MS66 but I'll say RB.
Really nice RussView™ pic.

It's not weak, it's truncated by the strike doubling.

Since everyone else has shown their examples, here is mine:
As an aside, I've always wondered why Victor didn't do a better job of centering his initials -- they are a bit too far left.
Its not weak,its truncated by the strike doubling.
Russ - Do you think everyone is a MORON ?
Your coin has a WEAK VDB.Plain and simple its only half there.When you talk about Lincoln cents and I'm reading what you spouting,I'm gonna come at you.Admit it,you don't have to B.S. everyone.

ps Where did you come up with truncation on the coin ? Where is the strike doubling ?

No, only you.

From somebody who knows nearly as much about early Lincolns as you, but isn't a dickhead.

Here is the one that I am sending off to PCGS soon to see what they say. Thanks for the help and great pic Lucy!!!
Hard to assign grade, but consensus PCGS MS65 RB (grade range from PCGS MS64 RB due to the chatter on the OBV, mushy VDB, "something" going-on along edge - to PCGS MS 66 RB due to excellent fields & nice general look).
I would really like to see this one in-hand, the OBV legend almost makes it look like it has seen some sort of contact. Hard to tell what the coloring looks like, possibly dipped, would like to see mint luster in hand.
Pic aren't everything... here is a pic of my PCGS MS65 RD:
All in all, a nice coin.

I'd give you the world, just because...
Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.
Thanks for sharing!

Nice picture!
